First campsite on the way from Auckland.
Thames is a charming little town that is a must visit!
The campsite itself was in a great location setback from the road and 5 minutes from the sea giving you both the seclusion and vibes.
Great facilities from the kitchen to the bathrooms but is important to note the showers are coin operated.
-
Called for a last minute powered campsite in the winter time and the owners were super nice and accommodating.
The campsite is right on a river and feels tucked away in nature. Nice facilities although you need coins to operate the shower. Good wifi too!

This was a nice place to stay the night.
Owners were really lovely and accommodating when someone else was already in our campsite. Some of the facilities could be updated but nothing urgent, still fine. Free wifi was a nice touch, wasn’t expecting it. Campsites maybe slightly on the smaller size but there is still plenty of space in front and no set lines to stay in.

Great host.
Nice powered pitch next to stream. Quiet location. Toilets clean if a little tired. Site pleasant if a little tired. Enjoyed our one night.
-
New owners and they are really really nice!
Friendly, welcoming, try their best to help you to feel comfortable.
Campside is beautiful!
For sure i'll come back one day!

Our camper broke down outside of Thames (alternator died!
) and we were so lucky to be able to stay here for 2 nights till the mechanic could take us. The owners are so kind and lent us a cable/charger to charge up the battery enough to be able to be driven into the mechanics in Thames. Facilities are clean and functional, maybe a bit dated but not a problem if you're not fussy. Coin operated hot showers ($1 for 5 mins of hot water), 20pp per night for an unpowered site. Very grateful and couldn't ask for a better place to have mechanical troubles. We noted that the park was up for sale so may come under new management in the future?

First time writing a review in 3 months of travelling and using campervan parks.
Firstly $30 for one person on an unpowered site is criminal. I actually couldn’t believe it, maybe my fault and should of questioned it there and then.
Secondly dirty facilities like kitchen ( dead bugs) hair on the sides and floor, dirty floor. The bathroom was ok. Showers pretty grotty.
Thirdly wifi didn’t work. I know this can be hard in NZ but going back to paying $30 for an unpowered site, I personally think should be unlimited and accessible.
Must say owners pretty chilled and welcoming. But that’s all I’ve got to say

Lovely spot to camp next to the creek.
Unfortunately they over charged us and when we asked them about it they got very rude and insulting about it saying we had made up a website and booking confirmation fabricating prices and they wouldnt discount our rate or give any money back as "it was already cheap as chips" we wernt after any discount. We just wanted to pay what we had been told the prices were. Very unfortunate as was a lovely spot. We cut our stay from 4 days to 2 because of how they acted and went to Miranda

We stayed on a non-powered site.
There was a good amount of allocated space surrounded by vines which was a nice touch (not all sites were like this). Hot showers were $1 for 5 min. Toilet facilities were satisfactory. Noise from others music was minimal. A nice family area. Cost us $20 pp.

Beautiful little park, flowing river right next to our camp.
Owners are lovely. Has water but not at your site. Dump station, pool, laundry, toilets and paid showers.

Beautiful and secluded, nestled in the forest!
Simple camp ground, relatively level spaces. $40 for 2 people for a powered site. Clean showers coin operated. Lovingly maintained kitchen facilities. Free 300mb Wifi included. Would definitely recommend and stay again! 9/10 stars as buildings were a little dated and would have loved free hot showers.
Thank you for your positive comments. Showers are coin operated as it stops people from spending a long time in the showers, and other people waiting :)

Expensive for what you get.
$40 for 2 adults non-powered. Very dated amenities. Paid hot showers. Too bad this campground pretty much has a monopoly on Thames.
We are one of the cheapest on the Coromandel:) All though our amenties are dated they are bright and clean. WE bought the Holiday Park in 2016 and are constantly upgrading, and renovating it

I just popped in for a night a few days ago.
The camp ground was super peaceful, and mostly empty (New Year holidays just ended here), and they were good enough to not put me right next to other campers but tried to maximize space for everyone instead.
They also get extra double bonus points for the clear effort they put in to recycling and vermicomposting.
Thank you :)

Beautiful campsite!
Free hot showers, free wifi and very nice and helpful staff. Directly near the beach. Very clean kitchen and lots of facilities. If we ever come back to NZ we would definitely stay here again!
Thank you for your feedback. We enjoy making our holiday park a place where our visitors are happy and comfortable:)

30 min free wifi, old facilities but clean, close to small beach with nice sun set, good and clean kitchen.
But $20 per person is too much!
-
Beautiful little park, great sites and beautiful scenery.
The bathrooms need an update but very clean and well kept. Internet reception difficult but doesn't matter with the beautiful location. Close to the beach :)
Thank you Breanna. We are in the process of upgrading the park, we are new owners :)

Nice site split over different levels with good facilities.
The kitchen was very well equipped, probably the best we found anywhere in NZ, and the toilets were very clean. There are play facilities for children and a good small swimming pool. If it is raining there is also an indoor lounge (but notice said it was for adults only) and a games room with table football, table tennis, air hockey, etc. Also a mini golf course although it had a lot of leaves and small branches from the trees on it so we didn't play. Shop didn't have a huge selection but ok for essentials and the campsite is not too far from the town which has plenty of facilities. A good stop to head for if you are going from Auckland further into the Coromandel.
Hi Neil, thanks for your review. It all helps as we are new owners and have "inherited" a lot of things that we want to improve. We will look at the sign in the TV/reading room that you are referring to. The mini golf course is swept regularly but we will keep a closer eye on it.
